I am really 12 years old, but I need
serious help.
Please don't skip over this because of my
age. I am very mature, and I need help.
I've had this problem for about a month
now.
It all started when I was coming back from
vacation. I got sick on the plane. It
literally felt like bubbles were coming
and popping in my stomach. I threw up at
the end.
I hadn't eaten that day, and when I went
to eat, I wasn't hungry at all.
So, for about a week, when I wanted to
eat, I couldn't because my stomach would
make this bubbling stuff. To top that,
diahrreha {spelling I know}. So on the
weekend, I finally told my mom what was
going on. She made me eat dry food and sip
gatorade.
Then about three days later, I gradually
was able to eat more. But still, loose
poop.
The bubbles went away, but ever since to
today, I get these weird noises in my
stomach. I cannot tell whether I am hungry
or full anymore, and the poop is sometimes
loose.
The noises just come, whenever. And I
don't know when i'm hungry or full, and I
find that my love for food has kind of
decreased.
Is this just because my body is changing?
Will this ever go away?
Please help me!!!

Hello
Sorry that you are feeling sick. I would
suggest that you ask your mom to take you
to see your family physician. While you
are waiting for your appointment, try
keeping a food diary of what you eat and
how you feel each day. This will help
your doctor try to narrow down what is
going on with you. This could be a nasty
tummy bug. Depending on where you went on
vacation, it could be something that was
in the water. It could be a lot of
things, but the best place to start is
with your family doc. If they have
further concerns, they may refer you on to
a specialist. I hope you find an answer
soon, there is nothing more sad than not
being able to eat, in my opinion.
